The Honda Civic Type R is a common sight on UK roads and the numbers confirm that it is the biggest selling 3-door hot hatch in the UK. From its launch in March 07 to the end of February, a total of 5192 customers got hold of the keys to a Type R, making it Britain’s most popular performance hatchback. While over the same period, Ford sold 4778 of the 3dr Focus ST (all variants), while the 3dr Golf GTI (incl. Edition 30) recorded a total of 1984 sales. Getting your hands on a Honda Civic Type R couldn’t be easier – you could lease one for £222 per month. Check out the best offers on out www.contracthireandleasing.com Honda has also been listening to its customers as it introduced the GT grade – and a huge 90 per cent of customers now opt for this more comfortable, better-equipped Civic The Civic scores big on the design stakes, it has a smooth but imposing stature. While under the bonnet, the 2.0-litre VTEC engine produces 198bhp and it has a top speed of 146mph and will launch you from zero to 60mph in 6.6 seconds. Simon McBride

open quoteThis New type R is so sexy. However this car was made for speed and as the top gear test showed, the new type r is slower then the older model.

I think Honda made the decision to sacrifice power for technology. The New Honda Civics’s interior is amazing and a benchmark for other car manufacturers.

This baby just REV's all the way to the red line as if there is just no limit.closing quote

open quoteThe FN2 type-R is a poser type-R. It's not sold in Japan, because it's not good enough.
